Ireland Baldwin is speaking out in support of his stepmother, Hilaria Baldwin, who was forced to clarify her heritage amid allegations that she pretended to have a Spanish accent for years.

Ireland also apologized to anyone who is “dealing with any injuries during those times” and condemned online bullying, noting that she does not see “the meaning of intimidating anyone”.
“Yes, it is important to educate. And YES, it is beyond all right to express frustration, confusion and anger … but I think that sending threatening messages will not transmit any kind of message either,” she writes.
Ireland’s statement comes hours after his father defended Hilaria a second time. At the end of Monday, he logged on to Twitter to call the writer an opinion essay on the scandal.
“False? Exaggerated? Did she use an accent as an adult? She lived in Spain for many years as a child. She lived in both places,” Alec tweeted.

Hilaria said she was born in Mallorca, Spain, and raised in Boston. She explained in a podcast in April 2020, “I moved here [to America] when I was 19 years old to go to NYU from … my family lives in Spain, they live in Majorca. “The accent of the bilingual mother of five also fluctuated noticeably over the years when she appeared on TV.
Since then, the mother of five has addressed criticism online in a video. “There have been some questions about where I was born, I was born in Boston … I spent part of my childhood in Boston, part of my childhood in Spain, my family, my brother, my parents, my nephew, everyone is there in Spain now, I’m here “, he explained.
